Year Round Bakersfield Swim Club

Our Program

Bakersfield Swim Academy strives to provide a place where kids can learn how to swim while having fun, a place where children can build character through hard work and dedication, and a place where people of all ages can learn to swim, all while encouraging families to live healthy and active lifestyles.

In serving the surrounding community, Bakersfield Swim Academy currently offers a large variety of aquatic services including: swim lessons for all ages (from 6 months to adult), summer rec swim team, beginning water polo, private birthday swim parties, and clinics with U.S. Olympic Medalists. We are also glad to offer individual triathlon training and our very own USA Swimming Club Team, Bakersfield Swim Club.

Membership

Membership at BSA is required for all students - you can sign your family up online before registering for a particular class or before paying for a single lesson. We desire all students to be serious about their committment to their lessons and our coaches put forth the same level of seriousness in excellence.

We take great care in placing each of our swimmers in the appropriate class levels. Knowing this allows for higher quality instruction from our teachers, a more productive learning environment for our students, and an overall better experience for everyone.

If you have any questions about our levels or would like to schedule a free 5 minute evaluation to find out which level your student should be placed in, please call our front office at (661) 615-6530.

Water-Safe Babies

At Bakersfield Swim Academy, water safety is a major facet of our goal of enjoying the water. Our instructors work hard to make sure our students are not only safe, but that they learn to respect and understand the pool. In this video, one of our youngest students displays his technique of breathing and floating.
